Palazzo Strozzi, Renaissance city palace in Florence, Italy
The palace features a symmetrical cubic structure with three floors, decorated with rusticated stone facades and mullioned windows arranged in perfect geometric harmony.
Construction began in 1489 under Benedetto da Maiano for Filippo Strozzi, requiring the demolition of fifteen buildings to create space for this grand residence.
The palace now houses both the Institute of Humanist Studies and Foundation Palazzo Strozzi, serving as a center for contemporary art exhibitions and cultural events.
Visitors can access the palace through three grand portals located on Via Strozzi, Via Tornabuoni, and Piazza Strozzi, with the courtyard hosting a cafe.
The building includes distinctive iron torch holders and banner supports crafted by Niccolò Grosso, displaying dragons and sphinx figures at its corners.
